Question 819398: Could you please help with this one?
Cost of Painting my House: "If we work with our regular crew, we can have the job done in eight hours", but if we hire three extra people, it will be done in six hours. Assuming that all the painters work at the same rate, how long would it take one of them to paint the house?
